Colors: Blocks V

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Blocks V

Sramana Mitra: And in those four months, what kind of metrics did you have to show to be able to raise the series?

Felix Rodriguez: I’ll never forget how the numbers went. In the first month, our revenue was $4K. Then it was $16K, $40K, and then $80K. It was really a driver of if I spend more on ads, I’d get more customers. I was building a partner network to be able to convert those bookings into actual customers that actually use the service.
